King C. Gillette Double Edge Razor & Blades (15 Pack)

As a full beard wearer I’ve been using disposable razors for my facial tidy up..... not any more.  Clean ,tidy,easy, I’d forgotten how good this style of razor is, last used one for a full shave in November 1973, last time I was clean shaven. Liked it so much I even bought one for my son.

I really like this piece of kit. Well made, a classic design, solid with a good feel. Easy to clean and change blades. Gives a great shave and I have actually started to enjoy shaving again! A word of caution, take a few days to get used to it. Having used Gillette's contour and fusion blades for years, you get used to the the light head doing the work. With this, you do the shaving. At first it feels positively industrial, I nearly knocked myself out as I thudded it against my jaw for the first time. However I soon got the hang of it and have no problem giving it 5 stars. 

This razor is a good weight & is balanced well. Enabling the user to have a good, smooth & close shave ! Well worth the money & would highly recomend purchasing one.

A great razor with nice weighting and amazing blades giving a nice clean and close shave with two passes. A most enjoyable home shaving experience and more so for those with sensitive skin / coarser stubble. 

What can I say about this product? It leaves me feeling like I've shaved using a machete! I'e gone back to using Fusion Power blades instead. Much more comfortable, better quality shave. To be fair, I'm sure a lot of people will get on with the King C Gillette Razor just fine, and aesthetically it is very pleasing, it's just not for me.

Awesome razor, great weight, comfortable grip, closest of shaves! Perfect! 

I have to be honest i was a little apprehensive when I purchased this product as i had never used one before, turns out its straight forward to use and safe not one nick so far; the razor is reassuringly heavy and made from high quality material and has a great retro look, it gives a great shave and was discounted with the extra blades so great value! I’m so pleased with it I’m looking to purchase a holder / soap dish and brush! 

As someone with coarser stubble, the KCG DE Razor and blades gave an impressive first and second clean shave. The quality of the shave was far better and less aggressive than the Gillette Mach 3 / Fusion /Proglide 5 ranges, for those with more sensitive skin types. Using the KCG DE blades, you can achieve 3 to 4 quality clean shaves / a week's worth of use per blade for coarse stubble types.   

When I first started to shave in my teens I used the traditional Gillette razor. I moved on to electric razors  because it was quicker. As a 77 year old I decided to go back to the traditional Gillette razor which gives me a much closer and smoother shave.  I am now back in my teenage years. Many thank to Gillette.

Having recently purchased the new King C. Gillette Razor,  I feel compelled to give a review of the overall performance after a number of shaves. The razor handle feels very comfortable in the hand because of its length and weight,  but, I do use ground up alum powder for increased grip. Whether it was the preshave or the shaving cream, or very probably a combination of all three items,  but, this razor with the King C. Gillette blades performed excellently on a  "Three Pass" shave. Now, I do like mild razors, I also don't like to be cut or have any nicks when shaving and this razor delivered an extremely close shave with no cuts or nicks and no irritation. I had bought the razor along with the respective blades for a special knocked down price from the Gillette web site and I can highly recommend that every wet shaver should have this razor in their den.
